is because the only text you have when you're president of the united states is what do you do when you're faced with the unexpected? this is the expected, and he doesn't seem to be doing very well with it. >> when we look at the politics of this, a cnn/orc poll was released saying that 63% of all americans say, yes, when the question was asked whether he should release more tax returns. so i think, when you're dealing with tax rates, when you're dealing with fairness, especially when you're dealing in light of this 47% statement, that this is a sound political question since candidates in the past have had to do this. >> no question. and what mr. johnston said is particularly revealing. let's assume the romneys did pay 14% to 20% that the letter seems to imply, each and every year for the last 20. this year he paid about 14%. so if that were the case, then what's the reason for not releasing it? in many years, he paid more than he paid in 2011, if you believe what the accountant says. they paid up to 20%. so the damage is already done. people know, because of the way the tax code is skewe

madame chair woman, delegates i accept your nomination for president of the united states. >> [applause] >> now the first time i addressed this convention in 2004 i was a younger man. a senate candidate from illinois who spoke about hope. not blind optimism not wishful thinking but i hope in the face of difficulty. hope in the face of uncertainty. that faith in the future which has pushed this nation forward even when the odds are great. even when the road is long. eight years later, that hope has been tested. by the cost of war by one of the worst economic crises in history and by political gridlock that has left us wondering whether it's still even possible to tackle the challenges of our time. i know campaigns can seem small, even silly sometimes. trivial things become big distractions, serious issues becomes sound bites, the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising if you are sick of hearing me approve this message believe me so my. am i. when all is said and done, when you pick it up that ballot to vote you will face the clearest choice of any time in a generat
